Hey guys!
Add the cast of “The Goonies” to the list of artists hoping to stimulate spirits during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Goonies” superfan Josh Gad presents a nearly 30-minute “Reunited Apart” reunion special that was posted to YouTube on Monday, featuring some reenactments of classic scenes from the 1985 cult classic. The “Frozen” actor hinted that there could be more film gatherings as the battle against COVID-19 continues.
“As many of us observe this wish, we could catch up now, it is my most sincere hope that meeting some old friends of all will bring us the joy that we need so much for each and every one of you.” says at the beginning of the video.

Sean Astin (Mikey), Josh Brolin (Brand) and Corey Feldman (Mouth) are among the cast members of “Goonies” featured in the video, which already had 20,000 views within two hours of its release.
In the 35-year-old film, a group of children in Oregon team up to find a pirate ship that has enough treasure to save their families’ homes from being repossessed. Gad says he saw “Goonies” for the first time when he was 4 years old.
“Most importantly, that day I learned four words that forever changed my life: Goonies never say die,” says Gad.

Gad is asking fans watching the video to donate to the COVID-19 relief fund from the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, even if it is “just a pocket change,” he says.
“Our hope is that each episode of ‘Reunited Apart’ will focus on a charity established to help those most in need during these desperate times,” he said.
